[Cuis-dev] WorldMenu

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Hi,

Now that most of the Preference work is done, I want to look again at 
the WorldMenu.
I read my past related writing in the list and I find it hard to 
understand, it will need some self-processing.
If in between you got some design ideas, please share it.
